Tim loves data, outer space, and sycamore trees, among all the other things. While he doesn't write code, he's been orbiting the hackathon world since 2010 and has landed at events all over planet Earth - from Bangalore, to Cape Town, to Tokyo, to Sao Paulo. He's helped thousands of hackers hone their ideas, manage their projects, polish their demos, and most importantly have lots of fun. He's excited to do more of that at SpaceApps SF!
